Hello and thank you for visiting Ragamuffin Pet Photography. My name is Caitlin McColl and I have the best job in the world!

Their determination as they race in pursuit of a favourite ball. The warm lean of their body against yours. The soft pads of their paws, curled up on your couch. It's what it's all about.

I pride myself in a down-to-earth approach and personality-filled artwork. No posey pics, no stressful studios - just love, life and loyalty!

Find out more about having your dog photographed by following the links in the menu above. And if you fancy having a chat about organising a Melbourne pet photography session for your furry family, just pop over to my contact page!

ragamuffins of 2018

(a selection of my recent work)

Arlo is a 14 month old Beagle X who was found dumped in the middle of a dirt road as a tiny puppy. He's now all grown up and runs the house! Part dog, part mountain goat, Arlo enjoys climbing tables and eating anything he's not supposed to eat!

Clyde is a 13 year old Kelpie x Labrador. He is smitten with his furmum, and follows her all around the house. He prefers people over other dogs, love attention, cuddles and adventuring in the caravan with his Mum and Dad.

This trio of cuteness are all rescued pets; Boo (left) was found wandering the streets by the Lost Dogs Home. Christi (middle) was rescued from a backyard breeder and rehomed thanks to Pugs SOS. Elijah (right) was found by Pets Haven, trying to keep warm on an old fire: matted, starced and unable to walk due to severe malnutrition. These days all three furkids are spoilt, loved and happy.

Blanco (right) is a a 9 year old Chihuahua who loves cuddling up on the couch with his hoomans and his new adopted brother, Logan. Logan (left) is a 4 year old Tibetan Spaniel who was rescued from a puppy farm, where he used to sleep in a yard with 63 other dogs. Now he's slowly getting used to sleeping on comfy surfaces, gaining more confidence and his funny, quirky little personality is starting to shine.

Mollie is a 10 year old miniature poodle who is absolutely adored by her people. She loves cuddles and when her Dad's pet chickens lay eggs, Mollie collects them and brings them inside to swap for a treat!

Cindy (right) is a typical Beagle - food driven, cheeky and smart as hell! She's an independent lady, but she loves a Sunday morning snuggle. Sadly, her sister Pepper (left) has passed away since our session. Pepper was a gorgeous girl who thought she was people. She was happy to lounge around on the couch, but also loved the chance to run and run at the park.

Winston, Dudley and Murray are three very loved and very adorable little boys (men!) with buckets of personality! They share their home with their feline sisters Molly, Audrey and Lily, plus the birds Fenton and Peaches AND their large chicken family who live in the backyard (their mums fit in there somewhere too!)

Xander is a 9 month old Great Dane cross who loves EVERY dog, big or small. He was adopted from Jedimals Animal Rescue, after being found on the side of the road with his mum in NSW. He was moved around between different foster families until he was finally adopted by his furmama, who loves him like crazy! He has become his shadow and the two are now inseparable.

Abbie and Teisha started life on puppy farms as breeders. They were handed over to Labrador Rescue at four years old and since then it's been a long, but hopeful journey for the girls as they gain confidence. They've become the best of friends and mean the absolute world to their Mum, who makes sure they get their beach walk everyday - rain, hail or shine!

The trio of adorable pugginess were all adopted from Pug Rescue Victoria. Bella is a bossy, cheeky gal, crazy Gus is totally adored and Mr Bronson is the calm teddy bear of the family. They bring joy, love and laughter to their humans every single day!

Mocha is a clever little lady who loves to sit in the passenger seat with the wind in her long black fur. She enjoys playing with balls and demanding that her Mum scratches her belly (at all times of the day and night!)

These sisters were adopted together from the Cat Protection Society, after being abandoned and left at the shelter. They've grown into sweet, confident girls - Roxie loves to jump on shoulders (leaping from the bed or a table!) and Roobarb adores her sister, kissing and cleaning her at every chance (but also enjoys polishing off Roxie's dinner!).

Luna and Spider are two rescue puppers who live out in gorgeous Gippsland with their five chickens, five cats, blue tongue lizard, rainbow lorikeet and fish (oh, and their humans presumably fit in there somewhere too!)

Spider was a crazy boy in his youth, but he's settled beautifully into his senior years. His sister Luna has been working on her social anxieties since being adopted and has come leaps and bounds!

What a family! Yoshi, Koopa, Maple and Kira (from right to left) are all totally adored by the humans. Yoshi, the Japanese Spitz, is the spoilt one who would rather hang with people than pets. Koopa, the Border Collie, is the energetic smart boy with a brain full of tricks. Maple the chilled out bunny, wears a little bell around his neck so he can play with the others without getting stepped on. And finally the newest addition, rescue kitten Kira, is the snuggly one - she loves to get right up in your face and she adores her bunny brother.
